Larger Image Fig. 5. Expression patterns of vim, des, prph, ina, and nes in the pre-metamorphic tadpole nervous system. In situ hybridization on retinal, brain and spinal cord sections for vim (A–C), des (D–F), prph (G-I), ina (J–L), and nes (M–O). Sections were obtained from pre-metamorphic stage 50 tadpoles. Location of the lens (L), outer (O), inner (I) and ganglion (G) cell layers are indicated. Scale bars, 100 µm in A, D, G, J and M; all others are 50 µm. Image published in: Martinez-De Luna RI et al.
